Extreme Makeover

How many times have I passed an old dilapidated house and thought of the possibilities? Many! Not only do I think about what it could become, but I always wonder about the house when it was a 'home' - full of life and memories for a family.

A young couple (new baby young), in Jefferson, New York were brave enough to take on the extreme makeover of this 106 year-old farmhouse. Once a chicken farm, it had been well-worn. The last renovation had reconfigured the 6000 square foot structure into six apartments, but it had been setting empty and neglected for 25 years when the couple decided to make it their home. Their bravery and vision are amazing.

Oh Rita,What a beautiful renovation. A real labour of love and a wonderful result. There was an awful lot to do there but, with lots of hard work, they have achieved their dream and deserve to live in such a wonderful home. XXXX

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW

"The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity."~Margaret D. Nadauld
